cat bites
I was bitten by a kitten this morning.
I know that cat bites can be dangerous (I've been bitten by cats before) and being as this was a stray kitten, I wanted to make sure that the wound was seen to properly and I recieved the necessary shots. I also reported it to animal control. Pretty standard procedure - the dr makes you report it in case of rabies or whatever even though I'm pretty sure there is no rabies involved. In any event, the animal control came and trapped one of the baby kittens and the mom. 3 kittens are still unaccounted for. The cats will most likely be put to sleep after a 10 day quarantine period. They are wild, as wild as any wild creature. The kittens have a chance of being rehabilitated. They are 6 weeks old. But i don't know if it will happen. I feel horrible about this whole situation. It just breaks my heart. Why can't people spay and neuter their pets? Then it never would have happened in the first place. I just startled the kittens; that is the only reason it bit me. It was scared. I was moving some wood around in their hiding place when I was bit. I'm trying to console myself with the thought that they would just have a life of pain and hardship if they idn't get caught... getting hit by cars, being attacked by dogs and wild animals, running out of food, diseases, etc. But it is so hard. I have 5 cats of my own (all fixed and indoor only!) and I just love animals so much. It just breaks my heart. http://www.stacyinthecity.com |
